She was only 10 years old when that photo was taken, 13 when it was hand-tinted. She was a professional postcard model known as Mary, Jane, or Semolina. Not sure of any of this, but the pic is cool.

Ronald Lee Ermey (1944-2018) Buried With Honors.
Mr. Otto’s Dicycle ca. 1880
No idea how this works, how to steer, how to brake, but it was touted as a safety bicycle for people unable to handle a penny farthing. I’m guessing that if you came to a quick stop, you’d be either thrown face-first onto the pavement, or you’d rock back and forth until your lunch suddenly appeared on your lap. Once you started pedaling, the same rocking thing would happen again with the same result, only messier.
I want one.

Saturday Matinee – Steel Shredder, Egg Cracker, Android 207, Tom Waits & Pink Floyd
Not sure why, but this kind of stuff fascinates me.
Egg-breaking machine complete with egg-breaking porn soundtrack found here.
I ran across Paul Whittington‘s Android 207 a coupla years ago. Seems to fit.
Tom Waits‘ self-accompanied masterpiece “Clang Boom Steam” also seems appropriate.
From the Utoobage description: “The iconic video was created by Gerald Scarfe initially as a backdrop film for when the band [Pink Floyd] played the track on its 1977 In the Flesh tour.”
From the Utoobage comments: “Imagine having to wait 40 years to watch your favorite band’s official videoclip.”
Have a great weekend, folks, and don’t forget that astronomy is gonna happen tomorrow night.
Bigass Shiny WTF
Caption (from source) :៧. សួតសេះដែលសប់ខ្យល់ពេញ
Google Translate detected Khmer: 7. suot seh del sabkhyal penh
In English: “7. The pneumonia is full of rain.”
Based on the translation, I’m guessing that those are a pair of whale lungs that are full of water… but I’m wrong. According to the Daily Mail, they’re a pair of fully inflated horse lungs.
Next question: Are they wet and shiny, or are they dry and marked with chalk?
